Blackjack, also known as Black Jack, originated in France. It was the only gambling game in the casino where one could beat the dealer through probability. It relied on skill, unlike gambling on big or small, which depended entirely on luck.
Sophia entered the casino, took the chips, and went straight to blackjack. Xiao Zheng could understand it a little. At least this woman wasn't a fool. She knew which gambling games could be won through skill. She wouldn't blindly play games that couldn't beat the dealer and the casino just for the thrill.
Of course, Xiao Zheng, who had been tricked by Sophia more than once, didn't think that Sophia was a fool. On the contrary, this woman was very shrewd.
Sophia found a seat to the side and sat down. She put down her wine glass and casually threw down a hundred thousand dollars worth of chips. She immediately attracted the attention of many gamblers. Even the dealer couldn't help but smile at the generous Sophia to show his respect.
"You're opening with so much money. Aren't you afraid that the casino will take advantage of you?" Xiao Zheng, who was sitting next to Sophia, threw down a hundred dollars worth of chips. He didn't attract the respect of the others at all. Even the dealer didn't seem willing to give him cards.
Sophia joked, "It's only a hundred thousand dollars. The backer of this casino is very fierce. They don't care about my little money. "
Xiao Zheng took a sip of red wine and got the first hidden card. It was a flower card, which counted as ten points. The second card was an open card. Everyone could see it. It was also a flower card. After the two cards were dealt, Xiao Zheng smiled at Sophia and said, "If you bet this hundred thousand dollars on my side, you'll definitely win."
Sophia, who was sitting at the end, got the second card. It was also a flower card. She couldn't help but smile. "I might not lose."
There were six players. Apart from Xiao Zheng and Sophia, two of the remaining four had been killed in the game. The other two had ten points and fifteen points respectively. The gambler with ten points didn't seem very satisfied with his cards. From his expression, it could be seen that he didn't have many cards. It shouldn't be more than fifteen points. The other gambler had fifteen points. Even if his card was an ace, it would be sixteen points. The worst he could get was a three, which was eighteen points. In blackjack, the odds of winning are quite high.
Xiao Zheng's face card was ten points, but his hidden card was also ten points, so it was impossible for him to take it. When Sophia saw that Xiao Zheng didn't want it, she didn't ask for a card with only 8 points. Instead, he gave it to the Zhuang Family.
The dealer's card was 3. He didn't say anything and directly asked for a card. 5 o 'clock. Eight points. Faced with this situation, the dealer asked for another card. It was obvious that his trump cards were too small, and he was not confident that he could win against the gamblers.
When he asked for the second card, it was a flower card. It was ten o 'clock.
The gamblers cheered when they saw the card.
The face value was 18 points. Unless the bottom card was an ace or a 3, the dealer would explode.
Soon, amidst cheers, the dealer flipped his card and admitted defeat. Xiao Zheng won a hundred dollars, while Sophia won a hundred thousand dollars. The gap between them was so great that it could not be whispered. Of course, what surprised Xiao Zheng the most was that Sophia's cards were more than thirteen points.
"Other than the flower card and the nine points, none of your cards will explode. The probability of increasing your hand is quite high. Why not? "Xiao Zheng asked in surprise.
"Among the five people in front of you, there were only two flower cards, but quite a few numbered cards. I was thinking that the probability of getting a flower card is too high. Also, although my hand isn't big, it's not small either. I might as well throw the risk to the dealer. Look, the dealer exploded on the second card. If I had asked for the first card, the second card might have sent the dealer to blackjack, "Sophia analyzed cleverly.
Xiao Zheng grinned. "People always say that women are stupid when it comes to numbers, but you are very sensitive."
"People always say that men are sensitive when it comes to numbers, but you are a bit stupid." Sophia laughed.
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "I'm just not interested in gambling. If I really wanted to study it, I would have dominated Asia's gambling scene."
Sophia smiled and did not say anything. She continued to play.
In the next five rounds, Sophia's bets increased. From the first one hundred thousand, to the second two hundred thousand, to the third four hundred thousand, to the fourth eight hundred thousand. Sophia did not win all of her bets. She did not bet all of her winnings. In the fifth round, not only did she bet all of her winnings, but she also bet almost nine hundred thousand US dollars. The total was 2.5 million. The gambling table was shocked.
Even if this casino was rich and overbearing, placing a bet of 2.5 million at once still shocked the dealer. Very soon, the dealer who had failed repeatedly was replaced, and a middle-aged man in his forties with calm and experienced eyes was arranged to replace him. One look and one could tell that he was a gambling expert. He was hired by the casino to hold the line.
Xiao Zheng played six rounds. He won some and lost some, but it was basically a draw. Seeing that Sophia was getting more and more aggressive, she looked like she was in a killing frenzy. Instead, he took back his chips and stopped betting. The other gamblers saw that Sophia's luck was high and wanted to freeload with her. They increased their bets and decided to play harder.
The dealer dealt the cards.
The first four gamblers had placed their hopes on Sophia, who was skilled at gambling. They played very conservatively and none of them were killed. On the contrary, one of them got a perfect card. Blackjack. He was so excited that he screamed. Looking around, because of Sophia's ruthless play, the gambling table was surrounded by spectators. It was very lively.
"Deal." Sophia's card was five.
The dealer dealt the cards and gave Sofia a Three Pips card.
"Continue." Sophia took a sip of red wine. She was calm and composed. It was as if she was not worried that she would be killed.
The dealer continued to deal. He immediately sent Sofia a 10 Points note.
Just the cards alone were already 18 points. No matter how small her cards were, she still had nineteen. She was basically guaranteed to win.
Seeing this, the dealer's originally calm face became quite uneasy.
Blackjack relied on skill, but luck was still the main factor. No one knew what the next card would be. It could not be calculated through a sophisticated program. Therefore, when the cards reached twelve, the dealer chose to give up. Eighteen. This was the dealer's full card.
He won everyone except Sophia and the gambler with the blackjack, but he could not turn the tables.
There was an uproar around the gambling table. They looked at the five million US dollars of chips in front of Sophia with envy. They were extremely envious.
After this round, Sophia did not continue to fight. Under everyone's gaze, she ran to the next table to bet on Big or Small. She threw down five million US dollars in one go. Big.
After throwing down her chips, Sophia did not even sit down. She held her wine glass and stood to the side. She did not seem to care about the outcome. Or perhaps, she had achieved her goal in coming to the casino.
Start the bet.
The dealer announced the result: Big.
The result was Big. The screams were even louder.
With this round alone, Sophia's five million chips soared to ten million. Compared to her capital, it was ten times more than what she had. It was extremely terrifying.
Faced with such a result, although Sophia was not surprised, she said to Xiao Zheng in surprise, "You are really lucky."
